Hi Bryan, 

I still have a 9500 in which I've been able to get to OS9.2.2.  As I recall
I had to jump through hoops to get to that upgrade.  I had also installed a
Sonnet Crescendo to bring it, supposedly, to a G3 performance.  That
configuration should accept OSX I suppose, but I have X on another computer.
The 9500 continues to function surprisingly well with some older
applications and scsi gear that I can't interface with newer machines.

Good luck, 
Dale Johnson

(The 9500 cost $4600 when I bought it...but what else is new?)
